Great set

Being a commercial industrial refrigeration mechanic for a day job. Sets are always hard to accommodate all users, it takes time to perfect a set. Sylvan has a point I too had a PRS come across my bench and was at a loss when I did not have the right tool. However these things will happen in all walks of life and trades. This is a very good set of truss rod wrenches and I am a firm believer in "You get what you pay for" The amount of money I have in refrigeration tools is staggering to a lot of the prices I've seen in StewMac. Keep up the great work stewmac and I will be watching your site for that elusive PRS wrench. :D

Good but incomplete

The set as purchased is very nice. However, it does not include a wrench for any American made PRS guitar. For a set billed as a complete truss rod set, the omission of one of the very popular guitars in our culture is inexcusable.

Truss rod wrenches

I've not still used the wrenches ,but the only remark is that the dimensions of the tips of the keys are too thinly engraved, so I've written them with a felt-pen on the handle and it does! Without that, very good tools.

A good set of wrenches.

These are a pretty comprehensive - I didn't think that I would have a great deal of use for the whole set but I have only had them a month and already used five of them on customer's jobs. I must say that the 'pocket hex wrenches' (small chrome pipe like ones) are not that great. I was working on a deep recessed truss rod on a seven string Ibanez K7 and managed to get the tool into the pocket and on the nut but could not get it out - eventually the handle pulled free of the socket and I was a bit stranded. It would be useful if the handles on these were welded rather than a push fit into the hole. But overall really worth having.

Truss Rod Wrench Set

I bought my first set of these wrenches 5 years ago for my home shop. I bought the second set for my guitar repair business. I have large hands and love the handles on these wrenches. They are a must for any professional guitar tech or Luthier. Stew-Mac is my first choice for tools, jigs, finishing supplies and just about anything else I need to do a great job on my customers' guitars.

Pricey, but useful

I use them every time I set up a guitar. The quality of the construction is great! I believe the screwdriver-style handles provide a great grip, yet also limits you from over-tightening a truss-rod, like you could with a T-Handle.

I do wish it have a few more sizes to cover all the different guitars that come across my bench.
